Kuinji (Kuin Temple)
小浜市小浜男山２
A Soto sect temple located in Oharu City, Fukui Prefecture, and the ancestral temple of the Sakai family, the daimyo of Oharu Domain. It is known for enshrining the Horse-Head Kannon as its principal deity and for housing the cave where the Eight Hundred Year Old Nun entered samadhi.
History
As the ancestral temple of the Sakai family of Oharu Domain, it was renamed Kuinji after the posthumous Buddhist name of Sakai Tadayuki. The temple complex was expanded in 1688 CE (Kanbun 8). It is well known for the cave within its grounds where the Eight Hundred Year Old Nun is said to have entered samadhi.

What visitors say
Situated in a quiet section of the mountains, this temple exudes the calm atmosphere typical of a Zen monastery. It is characterized by its secluded setting, the cave of the Eight Hundred Year Old Nun's samadhi, and its status as a pilgrimage site for anime fans. There is an unattended Goshuin (shrine or temple calligraphic seal stamp) reception desk near the entrance of the main hall, which can be used during visits.
